Evaluation of the Office of Violence Against Women’s Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative

Thu, Nov 15, 5:00 to 6:20pm, Marriott, A707, Atrium Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

The US Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has funded the Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative (DVHPDI) with the goal of assessing the implementation process and outcomes of two domestic violence homicide reduction models: the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) and the Domestic Violence High Risk Team (DVHRT) program. This presentation will provide an overview of the cross-site evaluation plan for the DVHPDI including the assessment of: training and technical assistance; model implementation; model fidelity; and model impact. The Demonstration Initiative includes four sites implementing the Lethality Assessment Program and one site implementing the High-Risk Team model. The evaluation also includes three comparison sites that are implementing the Lethality Assessment Program without the additional supports provided by the demonstration initiative. The presentation will include: a short overview of the initiative and the evaluation design; a review of victim interview methods and data in victims’ experiences during the LAP screen; data on procedural justice highlighting victims perceptions of how they were treated by law enforcement; and, methods and results of an assessment of collaboration within communities involved in the initiative.
